I personally believe that Genesis is true but I also believe in an old Earth. I know it’s complicated but it makes sense to me.

Me too. All you have to know is that God's days are probably VERY long.

It's those meetings.

My working theory is that God doesn't change. We see in the Bible that he has nearly destroyed the Earth once and plans on our current version going away and making way for new creation.

What the Bible doesn't tell us is how many times in the past the same thing has occurred. The fossil record tends to reflect that aspect of God. Whole global ecosystems popping up into existence then suddenly disappearing replaced by something new, over and over.

I have nothing to back that up other than it makes sense to me, so take it for what it is worth.
